The alcohol industry is material-intensive, where the cost of grain on the production of ethyl alcohol exceeds 60% of the total production costs. The most effective way to use agricultural raw materials is the introduction of new plants. Plants from the Asteraceae family are a promising alternative source due to their inulin content that can be used for ethyl alcohol production. However, the fermentation of alternative raw materials might bring undesirable sub-products that compromise the quality of the ethyl alcohol, such as fuse oil, ester, and aldehyde. This article aims to obtain ethyl alcohol from four alternative plants that belong to the Asteraceae family. To do so, we evaluated the ethyl alcohol production from raw materials from four different plant species from the Asteraceae family: Helianthus tuberosus L., Dahlia, Cichorium intybus L., and Arctium lappa L. Our findings revealed that, after the first distillation, the alcohol content ranged between 5 and 12%. The concentration of waste products (fuse oil, ester, and aldehyde) can decrease to 1519 mg dm⁻³ after adsorption with activated carbon and calcium oxide. Therefore, those four plants are viable alternatives to alcohol production due to their inulin content. These alternative plant materials can improve the state of the alcohol and alcoholic beverage industry, and the introduction of new technologies presented here can potentially increase the profitability of bioethanol production.

酒精行业是材料密集型行业，生产乙醇的粮食成本超过总生产成本的 60%。使用农业原料最有效的方法是引进新植物。菊科植物是一种很有前景的替代来源，因为它们的菊粉含量可用于乙醇生产。然而，替代原料的发酵可能会带来不希望的副产品，这些副产品会影响乙醇的质量，例如融合油、酯和醛。本文旨在从菊科的四种替代植物中获取乙醇。为此，我们评估了从菊科四种不同植物物种的原料中生产乙醇：向日葵L.、Dahlia、Cichorium intybus L. 和Arctium lappa L. 我们的研究结果表明，在第一次蒸馏后，酒精含量在 5% 到 12% 之间。用活性炭和氧化钙吸附后，废品（熔断油、酯和醛）的浓度可降至 1519 mg dm ^{-3 。}因此，这四种植物因其菊粉含量而成为酒精生产的可行替代品。这些替代植物材料可以改善酒精和酒精饮料行业的状况，此处介绍的新技术的引入可能会增加生物乙醇生产的盈利能力。
